      • SPWC May 30,2012 5:01 pm || Up

        Agreed. The Coliseum is huge and can totally hold a lot of his flyball outs that have been going out of hitter-friendly NL parks.

          Plus, it would be enjoyable to watch Jamie Moyer pitch even if the A’s put up no runs on two hits in all his starts and Moyer puts up a 5.00 ERA.

          • SPWC May 30,2012 8:40 pm || Up

            That was Todd Frazier, and 15 rows deep in Cincinnati is pretty much a warning tracker in the Coliseum, especially with the wind blowing in.

            We’ll just position all the outfielders on the warning track and Moyer should be quite effective.

        • Jennifer May 30,2012 7:13 pm || Up

          It’s like a hamburger, but you use ground pork. It’s not *just* ground pork, I think the processor (meat locker) puts something else in there. Not hot dog style though.

          • wistful witch May 30,2012 7:16 pm || Up

            do you have it on a bun like a hamburger? what condiments, if any?

            • Jennifer May 30,2012 7:18 pm || Up

              Yes, on a bun. You usually put Worcestershire and white pepper on it while it grills. Then we put (homemade) relish and mustard on the bun.

                  We have this great meat store here that is crazy. Homemade hot dogs, farmer’s milk, a million different kinds of smoked meats… I think they smoked a baby once. I also got a steak the size of my head one time for <$5 on special. They raise, butcher, then sell all the meat in the store. They buy their wood for smoking from my brother, and they smoke the stuff right out in the parking lot on Thursdays.

          It’s a catch-22, really. If they go on the fridge, they get hard and have to be steamed to be saved, which is just too much of a pain for my liking. On the the other hand, if I leave store them out in Tupperware, they’ll mold within 2-3 days from purchase.

    I’m sure someone else has suggested it already, and I might have been one of them since I didn’t like the signing in the first place for various reasons, but how about the distinct possibility that Manny is done.

    At best, it’s reasonable to assume – based on his performance thus far – that it’s going to take him a while to start being able to hit again.

    At worst, he’s a washed up forty-year-old whose recent performance was all PED-enhanced. Waiting around for Manny to become the Manny in all his glory isn’t helping the team at all.

    • nobody in particular May 31,2012 12:38 am || Up

      Who is to say that this team CAN be helped, by anyone living or dead? You could put 1941 Ted Williams in there right now and I’m not sure we finish above a distant third regardless, with TX so strong and ANA not far behind them now that Pujols has decided to become himself again.

      The key to competitive status in MLB is depth, depth, depth, and we don’t have it at any number of positions… good luck getting this ownership to fund a warm body at each position, to say nothing of another warm body to back up the warm bodies that inevitably get inner ear infections, pulled obliques and shoulder stiffnesses. Hell, the primary warm bodies we have, at a number of positions like Suzuki at catcher and Pennington at SS, are barely Major League quality guys in their own right.

      At this point, you could bring up Carter (who sucks vs. ML pitching and unless Henry Aaron’s brain is given to him in an accidental transplant isn’t gonna change from that status) or Taylor (only marginally better than Carter at this point vs. ML pitching and prone to wave at sliders that even Bobby Crosby would watch go by) and leave Manny alone, but until Choice or Green are ready there just isn’t much else and definitely not for 2012. Gomes and Smith are what they are but I think we should at least give Manny a month to show if he’s got anything left in his dreadlocks, at the very least for the entertainment value he might bring to a team that is about as fun to watch and has about as much personality as a boarded-up hardware store in Dayton, Ohio right now.

      Who knows, he might hit some… at the least he’ll disappear into the out-of-town scoreboard between innings and tip the guy running it $10,000.

      I only think Manny will be called up as an attendance boost for the homestand, at best.

      If he does jack shit on the homestand, it might be DFA time shortly thereafter.

            BBC America’s No Kitchen Required has got it right. Make the competition’s theme about an ingredient and/or a culture. It’s like a combo of Survivor and Top Chef, but on a very basic level, with really good chefs. That I would watch. I think 80 Plates In 80 Days was supposed to be that, but there’s still too much gimmick and lack of quality.
